CONTESTS: STEVE AOKI & GRANIPH

Sitting on top of a stack of fresh designs? Let ‘em loose on the world in one of these upcoming contests. The first is DIM MAK founder, Steve Aoki’s quest to reinvent the wheel, or rather his iconic ‘Bearded’ tee. The winning design will be featured as a limited edition run to be sold during Aoki’s DEADMEAT tour, and the designer takes home a bounty of loot including tickets to the show, an editorial on MagneticMag and a bundle of DIM MAK merchandise. Deadline for this one is January 24, 2012. The second is the intermittent design contest run by printer and brand, Graniph. If cash is your king, then this is the way to go. 12 winners will earn cash prizes up to 500,000 Yen (about $6,400) and a run of their design printed by Graniph. The deadline for this one is March 31, 2012. Happy sketching!
